Text/Chat - Great to organize while on the morning dog walk

Town in Practice Executive Assistants
1

Most mornings start the same way: me, the dog, and Kermit (my Townie) working through my inbox before I ever sit down at my desk.

Here’s the actual workflow. While we’re out walking, Kermit triages the overnight email. Instead of coming back to a sloppy inbox where I have to reorient myself on every thread - who is this, what do they want, what did I promise - I come back to a short list of simple, direct questions. Answer those, and the inbox basically handles itself.

The best part is the format. When Kermit needs something from me, it comes as a quick text, and most of them are yes/no or a fast A/B pick. I can answer between stops to sniff things, and by the time we’re home, real work has moved. Drafts are waiting for my review, follow-ups are parked, and I know exactly what actually needs me.

The dog loves it - extra steps every morning. And it’s taken away my excuse that I “don’t have time” to get outside before “big screen” time. The walk is work now… but in a way that helps me feel more organized and clear.

Curious what others are doing: what’s the best morning prompt you’ve given your Townie? Always looking to steal a good one for the follow-up to the morning briefing.

Love this idea! Having Town send a short list of clarifying questions first would make my own Townie’s drafting so much more efficient instead of it guessing at what my response would be. How did you build it?

Hey. I have a morning briefing that pushes to me at 6am. I’ll give it a peak, but then I sent a text to my Townie saying,“Let’s get to work”. Then my townie knows to give me the suggested list for the day, I’ll give feedback from the morning briefing, and ask if there are any questions. Simple!

first: define who you are and how town should work for you in setting section. write what is his role in your company, how he should reply, wich tone use, etc. etc., provide a specific folder in your connected cloud with your logo, fonts, whatever you use to personalize your company

second: just text to town your idea, your needs and maybe some how to do.

example: create a routine called mymorning where 1. check if there are any emails from FBI :slight_smile: 2. write into excel file called FBIcalls.xls you find in dropbox/google drive/… new FBI’s requirements 3. alert me about every volcano activities worldwide ecc. ecc. 4. create a 9:16 image about bla bla bla with my logo in the lower right side and always save it in folder morningimages in the cloud

town will ask you many details, don’t run, explain him, more time pass, more he learns your style or where find/save files

a tomorrow you can always write a new prompt: update mymorning routine with 1. add this this this 2. delete this this 3. suspend this until january 01 and after activate again

ecc. ecc.
